I think I paid about $12/lb at the fresh market today but it was worth it no doubt

Damn. Just grilled a flatiron steak this would have been perfect for. Ate what was left with eggs and sharp cheddar on tortillas for breakfast this morning, so I'll get another one and try this recipe. Looks awesome!

Make sure you get one with a lot of fat. Skirt tends to have a little more fat than flatiron, which is why it works so well with this. The fat cooks off and mixes with the salt and pepper from the steak and flavors the corn/onion - this takes it to a whole 'nother level...

Coater - glad you liked it. Makes it worthwhile to post the pics.

That looks like the leftovers would make some awesome tacos.

Loved it. My 5 yo thought it was fabulous and she doesn't usually eat steaks. I was using 1.5lbs of steak so I adjusted the ingredients.

No problem. This recipe is so damn easy, that if you like it, it's easy to keep in your regular rotation...

I tend to chose my protein based on what's on sale. So if I catch a good buy on skirt, then it's going on the grill and my family's happy...

I had to throw mine on a little longer than 2 min each side because mine were thick too. I probably cooked them a total of 9 min and it was med. still it was so freaking tender.

I do this pretty regular even use the corn and onions but I also add some Jalapeño out of the garden. This is one of my favorite steaks. Especially for the money

About 1.5 inch like yours. As you know they vary in thickness so I didn't have to cook all of it that long--just the thicker parts

Sorry I misread. You definitely don't need to cook them as long as I did. I had some really thick ones.

Mine was about 1/2 inch, too. Maybe a hair thicker in some parts.

I can see cooking 9 minutes for a 1 1/2 inch thick steak. That is a thick skirt steak.

I would say just cook it till it's the way you like it. With a thin steak, I like to have the pan real hot and cook it quickly so I get a nice sear and it still stays mid rare. But if you like it more done, obviously, you have to cook it longer.

Usually skirts have one end thicker than the other end and if you cook the thickest end to MR, the thin end will be M or MW. This is nice if you have a bunch of people who like their steaks cooked different.

How did it come out?
